Love the L7 Route
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy is one of those rare pieces of infrastructure software that you can deploy and essentially forget about — it just works, handles massive traffic with minimal resources, and never surprises you. The combination of a transparent, single-file configuration with powerful features like stick tables, granular health checks, and zero-downtime reloads makes it the gold standard for load balancing.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I'm being honest, the configuration syntax can feel archaic — it's powerful but has a steep learning curve, and the documentation reads more like a reference manual than a guide, which makes onboarding painful. The lack of a native API for dynamic backend management (without reloads or the Runtime API's limitations) also feels outdated compared to more modern alternatives like Envoy, especially in Kubernetes-native environments where service discovery is constantly in flux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy sits as the critical traffic routing layer in front of our high-traffic news portals, solving the fundamental problem of reliably distributing millions of requests across backend servers while providing health checking, SSL termination, and graceful failover — meaning readers always get their content even when individual backends go down. The direct benefit for me as the infrastructure engineer is peace of mind: HAProxy's rock-solid stability means I spend my time on proactive improvements instead of firefighting load balancer issues, and its detailed stats and logging give me instant visibility when something upstream actually does break.
Fast, Reliable Load Balancer
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy offers excellent performance and reliability for high-traffic applications
What do you dislike about the product?
Its configuration syntax can be complex and difficult for beginners to understand
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy solves traffic distribution and availability problems by balancing requests across multiple servers, preventing overload and downtime.
It Just Works
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy is the gold standard for load balancing. It’s incredibly fast, rock-solid stable, and able to handle massive traffic spikes without breaking a sweat. The configuration feels logical and straightforward, and the observability features offer deep insight into network traffic and behavior. If you need high availability and top-tier performance, this is the tool to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complex configuration: The haproxy.cfg syntax comes with a steep learning curve, and it can feel a bit “old-school” and rigid compared with more modern, YAML-based tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Load balancing.
Robust, Easy to Use, and Kubernetes-Native

It seems robust and easy to use. The Kubernetes-native support is a definite plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mean, nothing. Great team, great products
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
